Ancestry.com has become the latest site to be taken down by a distributed denial-of-service (DDOS) attack. The genealogy website was shut down from Monday-Tuesday this week, along with its sister site, Findagrave.com.
The Provo, Utah-based company told Reuters that its sites were both targeted by excessive traffic, causing both to go offline for two days. No customer data was compromised, it said.
